Long time, my friends. Life gets crazy and one finds themselves either at work, asleep, or still trying to play the game that I made this blog for. Hello again.
A few months ago I was inspired to make an emotional post about Blizzard as a company because of the shocking news that they laid off 600 of its employees. Scary, but not altogether unexpected, which I also went into detail about in the post.
